Wait a second... what's behind that dude's head?

CBS ordered 23 episodes of The Good Wife, five pieces from the Pavement Loop series, and two pieces from Urban Cartography. Probably not all on the same day though.

CBS was preparing for season two of The Good Wife, a dramatic legal drama about drama in a law firm's legal department starring Josh Charles (Dan Rydell from Sports Night, one of my all-time personal role models) when I was contacted by set decorator Beth Kushnick about using some of my prints on the show. After a moderately successful phone conversation that my obtuse attempts at humor almost derailed entirely, I ordered up some prints and rushed them to FedEx, demanding they get them there overnight at any cost. They informed me that cost would be $150, at which point I realized a healthy 3-5 day wait probably wouldn't hurt anyone.
Anyway, as the show demonstrates, Kushnick is very good at what she does. The sets are elaborately layered and hugely detailed, and they even went to the trouble of creating custom metal frames for the two 36x16" Urban Cartography pieces. How cool is that? It's my own work and I even I never thought of doing that.
Since the premier I've been watching the show with a fine tooth comb (a metaphor that made a lot more sense before I typed it) and can happly say that almost all of the pieces they ordered (five from Pavement Loop and two from Urban Cartography) have had way more screen time than they probably deserve. It apparently didn't hurt that I may or may not have dropped a couple Chipotle coupons in the mail for the director of photography.
On a related note, my repeated requests to appear on the show in a 3-5 episode arc as J.J. Gardner, Will's younger, black sheep brother living a double life as both an on-and-off junkie and undiscovered jazz trumpet virtuoso, have gone largely ignored.
